3yrs out updates!!!!!!
Ok, I dont no where to start,It's been a while since I've been on OH. I had my sleeve on may 24 2010. I was in a size 24/26. Today I where a 14. I have gotten as small as a size 10. I must start off by saying that if I had to do this all over I would do it today. This is the best thing that I Could have done. BUT I HAVE SOME BAD HABITS....... I have been eating snacks instead of protein because it feels so good going down. New sleeves donot think this surgery is a quick fix... It's not.... Bt it will def help u to get where u need to be, u have to do the rest... I'm 3 yrs out and I still have good restriction, BUT like I said I just make bad choices..... Example.. Before surgery I could eat 3-4 pieces of chicken, fries, and a large drink and dessert... NOW 3yrs post op, I could eat 1 reg-small chicken breast on a good day and I'm content... But my bad choices would be to eat 6-7 fries and become full instead of eating protein first and filling up... This is just a little bit of the mistakes that could be made when your not a newby.... Well I am getting back on track and I must say after surgery loosing weight is much easier than before surgery. If I stay away from starchs first and do protein I loose faster. I try to exercise a least 3 time a week.(yard work, wash both cars, cleaning house non stop, going to the gym..) I won't make this long but I he it is helpful to all the new sleepers and I will be happy to answer any questions.....
